Summit covers robotics to aid learning in STEM

The Nextgen Education and Research Robotics Virtual Summit will focus on the implementation of robotics to accelerate learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Targeted for K-12 and college-level students, this one-day virtual event (10 March 2011) provides opportunity for leading educators, government representatives and robotics-technology solution providers to share their experiences, results and ideas for robotics and its applications within STEM education.

Since robots represent a practical application of key principles in physics, computer science, engineering and mathematics – educators have discovered they can use robotics technology as a way to teach and illustrate critical concepts within each of these diciplines.
